Zoë Kravitz Takes Boyfriend Channing Tatum's Advice For Directing Debut: 'One Thing At A Time'

Zoë Kravitz decided not to co-star with boyfriend Channing Tatum in her upcoming directorial debut, "Pussy Island," after he gave her some words of wisdom based on his own experiences.

The "Magic Mike" star revealed during an interview with Entertainment Tonight earlier this month that he advised Kravitz not to star in and direct her thriller — after he did just that for his latest film, "Dog."

While speaking to ET's Nischelle Turner, Kravitz revealed that she took her beau's advice.

"It's hard enough to act on your own, I don’t know how people do both," Kravitz explained after Tatum's advice was brought up in the chat. "I will not be in the movie, I'll just be directing it. One thing at a time."

Kravitz's "Pussy Island" follows the story of Frida (Naomi Ackie), a young, smart cocktail waitress in Los Angeles who has her eyes set on the prize: philanthropist and tech mogul Slater King (Tatum).

"When she skillfully maneuvers her way into King’s inner circle and ultimately an intimate gathering on his private island, she is ready for a journey of a lifetime. Despite the epic setting, beautiful people, ever-flowing champagne and late-night dance parties, Frida can sense that there’s more to this island than meets the eye. Something she can’t quite put her finger on. Something terrifying," the movie synopsis read.

Aside from directing, Kravitz also co-wrote the script for "Pussy Island" with E.T. Feigenbaum. Bruce Cohen, Kravitz, Tiffany Persons and Tatum’s Free Association will produce.

Kravitz told Deadline that she began writing the story in 2017 and that it was based on her experiences as a woman in the entertainment industry and as a woman "in general."

"I've experienced some pretty wild behavior from the opposite sex. The title was kind of a joke at first, this place where people would go, bring women, party and hang out. The story evolved into something else, but the title wound up having multiple meanings," she explained of the movie's title.

In addition to her directorial debut, Kravtiz has a lot of exciting projects on the way, including her first "Saturday Night Live" hosting gig and her upcoming movie "The Batman," where she stars as Selina Kyle/Catwoman opposite Robert Pattinson's Bruce Wayne/Batman.

"It's just been a dream of mine for a very long time. I'm a huge fan of the show. I'm totally geeked. I'm totally scared," she said of her upcoming appearance on the NBC sketch comedy show. "I think the cast is so incredible. I think the thing I'm looking forward to most is kind of getting the look behind the curtain and having the experience of seeing how they come up with the skits and all of that."

Her "Batman" co-star Pattinson also told ET that he'd "for sure" watch the actress' "SNL" episode.

"The Batman" will hit theaters on March 4.
